LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Jan. 19

For two years, Gov. Rick Snyder has claimed he would not seek right-to-work legislation but after the unions helped fight Matty Maroun's anti-bridge ballot proposals, he stabbed unions in the back. Working with the Republican-controlled Legislature in an undemocratic manner with no public input or committee hearings, they rammed through the legislation. However, they showed that this was all done for political benefit by passing the bill as an appropriation so it cannot be challenged by a voter referendum.

No one should be surprised by any of this because Snyder was part of the political power grab here in Oakland County. State Rep. Hugh Crawford and state Sen. Mike Kowall sided with the governor on this. I guess it was payback time for the power grab.

Let us also not forget House Speaker Jase Bolger, who was involved in an election fraud case. Apparently, all levels of our state government are controlled by those who do not believe in democracy and would commit any deceit for political gain.
